@ga2au Ginamit ko BDO credit card. Advise ng BDO, if debit card kaya ipa request via call center na increase up to 200k (pero hanggang doon lang!). So ang case ko (kasi kasama de facto ko so lampas 200k) nag advance payment ako sa credit card para maging "negative" yung outstanding balance/ magkaron ng credit card "limit". Nagkaproblema ako kanina sa debit card, una kasing sabi sa akin basta may funds mag pproceed yun. Nung nadecline tsaka ko lang nalaman yung 200k limit. After pumunta akong bank afternoon para mag advanced payment sa credit card, mga 4pm na ata yun. Pagdating mga 11pm ok na, na credit na yung amount sa account ko. Tapos nag proceed naman transaction. And nakapag lodge din, FINALLY!
Ginamit ko paypal (kasi 1% lang surcharge) vs debit/credit card na visa/mastercard na 1.32%). Ang hirap pala ng antay nagulat ako na 9-11mos na ang processing based sa advise nila. All the best po sa lahat!

Just want to update this thread, I just paid for my visa a couple of days ago. Subclass 189. Around 4300AUD roughly 167k.
.
Mukhang di talaga gumagana debit card. Mine was UnionBank Debit, nakapag increase naman na yung bank ng daily transaction limit up to 200k. Visited the bank multiple times, called their customer service hotlines daily.
.
Also having more than sufficient amount on the account. But nothing seems to work. Nag try rin ako gumamit ng ibang card like security bank debit, etc. Ayaw pa rin. Payment Declined pa rin.
.
Last resort, naghanap ng friends or relative na may mataas na credit limit. Dami ko rin na-try and daming errors na naencounter, finally I used my Aunt's Security Bank CC and it worked.
.
Di ko na-anticipate na magkakaroon ako ng problem sa mode of payment, akala ko sa stage na 'to generating of funds ang biggest hurdle. May plot twist pala! Lesson learned. Hehe.
.
Kaya para sa mga iwas na iwas sa CC like me, sa ganitong mga pagkakataon pala talaga siya magagamit. Hehe. Hope this shed some light sa mga nasa same situation and sa mga malapit na makareceive ng ITA, lalo na sa may mga dependents na malaki ang visa fees.
.
Currently applying for a CC na. For future purchases lalo na after grant saka pang visa payment ng mga magiging dependents. Hehe.
.
Trying out Citibank, thoughts?
.
Godspeed, everyone!

Used Citi CC to pay for our visa lodgment 2wks ago. 6449AUD. no issues naman.
IMHO Citi is the best CC provider in the PH. daming perks, freebies, discounts, and points (depende sa card) and their mobile app is simply the best. Sucks na they're pulling out their operations from the country na.

Good Evening. I am anticipating on how I am gonna pay my Visa lodge. Mga AUD 4,770 or Php 185,000 babayaran ko. Ang available ko lang na card ay BDO debit card (visa) and BDO credit card (Gold visa).
Just incase #1 fails meron akong BDO credit card Gold na may available limit na 60k (previous limit ay 40k), How can I increase the credit limit? kaka activate ko lang ng May ng credit card na to- pwede kaya maki usap na increase to 200k yung limit?
Last resort is manghiram ng credit card sa ka kilala ko or do you know any alternative methods?
Thank you!

You can try to pay using your debit card first. If it doesn't work, then you can call your bank to confirm if credit limit increase is possible for your cc.
If I am not mistaken, there's a prepaid credit card in BPI called Amore. You need to call the bank to confirm if this has funding/spending limit. May cash ka naman pala, so pwede to.
